“The Failure of the Intended Story”

It’s not every day that The Rumpus finds itself immortalized in animation form.

Contributor Yuvi Zalkow was so inspired by his recent interview with Thaisa Frank, he made a fantastic little short about it. We’re always happy to see art beget art, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about this.

Watch Yuvi’s film “The Failure of the Intended Story” (#3 in his “Scribbling Bucket” series), after the jump:
